Crime Awareness and Campus Security

The Campus Security Office (CSO) is located in room 151 of the University Classroom Building (UCB), on the Kawili Street side of the building, and is accessible 24/7, or call (808) 974-7911 (dial 7911 from any on-campus extension), or call 911. There are also Blue Light Emergency Notification stations located throughout the campus and from which the CSO can be reached.

All reported incidents are investigated and recorded. Incidents can also be reported to any University employee, preferably a designated Campus Security Authority (CSA), such as a dean, director, resident manager or assistant, advisor, or counselor.

Silent Witness Reporting

The University provides an online link for anonymous reporting of incidents and crimes, although victims and witnesses are encouraged to talk to Campus Security by phone or in person.

Sexual Misconduct

The University of Hawaiʻi at Hilo is committed to maintaining and promoting safe and respectful campus environments that are free from sex discrimination and gender-based violence. Sexual misconduct that is prohibited by university policy includes sex discrimination; sexual harassment; gender-based harassment, including harassment based on actual or perceived sex, gender, sexual orientation, gender-identity, or gender express; sexual exploitation; sexual assault; domestic or dating violence; and stalking. Visit the Title IX website to read the full policy.

To report a concern or obtain institutional assistance, please contact the Title IX and/or the EEO/AA Offices located in Trailer D and E behind the Business Office and Auxiliary Services Building.

Access to Campus Facilities

Most facilities and programs are open and available to the public during normal hours of operation. To ensure personal safety and facility security, strict key control is maintained. Persons wishing to use facilities after hours must make prior arrangements with Campus Security, Auxiliary Services, and the respective Dean or Program Manager and everyone on campus should carry proper identification.

If you feel a student may be under emotional duress, have issues with drugs and/or alcohol, or behavioral issues that are detrimental to themselves or others, it is recommended you refer the student to the UH Hilo Care Team.

Policies Regarding the Well Being of the University of Hawaiʻi at Hilo Community

The University has adopted many policies that contribute to the well-being of all of us. It is very important that everyone reads and understands the policies. A few are noted below:

Crime Statistics

In accordance with the Clery Act, crime statistics for each year are compiled from an incident log generated by a cloud based security software program. This data for the previous calendar year is reported to the Department of Education in the early fall of the following year. Federal Statute requires that crime statistics for the past three years be posted on each institution’s Security website, as well as on the Department of Education’s website.

2016 Crime Statistics

Note: Residential Facility Crime Statistics are a subset of the On Campus Category, i.e. they are counted in both categories.

Campus Security

We also encourage you to submit a Silent Witness report if you wish to remain anonymous and it's a non-emergency safety or security concern.

Campus Safety Concerns

The safety of the community and its members is very important to us. If you become aware of a situation that you believe may pose a threat, please submit a Student of Concern form to the UH Hilo Care Team.

Physical Health Resources

If you are having a medical emergency and require immediate assistance, please call 911.

Mental Health Resources

Office hours are 7:45am - 4:30pm, Mondays through Fridays (except holidays). Emergencies or crises are handled as expediently as possible by an available counselor.

If you need assistance on an emergency or crisis basis outside of office hours:

If you would like to talk to someone on a crisis or emergency basis, or if you need assistance, please call the 24/7 Crisis Line of Hawaiʻi at 1-800-753-6879. This number will route you to local crisis mobile outreach services.

The National Suicide Prevention Lifeline number is 1-800-273-8255. (Please note: if you call this number from a phone with an out-of-state number, you will be routed to a crisis support center local to that area code.)
